Richmonds very own Lloyd

Unlike Essendon, hopefully he will be just as much a gun without being a douchebag

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Don't know why but he reminds me of Mark Marenda.

Looks like FJ really didn't rate the kids in the draft going for mature agers with our late picks.
Could be a likely Nahas replacement but with a better mark and bigger body. Highlights don't show his forward line pressure though. Anyone know a little more about him.

Kicked a tonne at a young age with Deniliquin Rams in the Murray football League .
Kicked a bag a couple of times this year including once against Coburg . To small to play KP .
Reads the game extremely well not over quick and is of solid build .
Might struggle to play AFL with Edwards there as they are similar although Lloyd is probably a little smarter at reading the game eg. crumbs from pack etc . And probably not as good set shot .
Unusual selection given the RFC list IMO although does suit age bracket .
Good luck to him by all accounts a ripping bloke .

I went down and watched his 7 goal haul on a wet and windy day, think the slower pace of the game in the wet helped him, plus he was on Griffiths for a fair few of those goals. He looks promising but I wouldn't expect him to be knocking the door down next year, fitness isn't AFL standard from the games I've seen, hopefully a professional environment can improve that cause he's got great talent.

P.S. I know you were just having a laugh but Frankston's a beautiful place with million dollar property's and views over the bay, get's a bad wrap. Sorry as a resident it shits me when people rubbish it because of a few bad eggs, which all suburbs have.

 

[UpTheGuts]

Looks fat. Though has some real spark.
See how we go. Real swing at this pick.
No doubt he'll give it his all. Massive leap from Mornington to AFL.

 

[Snake Charmer]

He isn't even from Frankston, lol. Played 1 season there.

Do you live in Frankston ? Shop lift much?

 

[Hayes4PM]

This bloke just popped up in my news feed from a friends account, looks pretty happy about getting picked up by you guys.

Says on the afl site he kicked 100 goals one season for deni, hope he works out for you blokes

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

That's an awesome shot , those new Polaroids really capture the moments !

Good on the little fella , has the skills and will get his chance if he works hard.

 

[GldGoldy]

Good Year for Mt Eliza having two former/current players drafted

Welcome to Tigerland, Sam

[mellowyellow]

Welcome aboard

 

[tora tora tora]

deniliquin - just down the road dfrom finley - where 1/2 my family hails from. also Shane Crawford...

 

[Tigerbob]

Despite being a mature selection, has a large scope of improvement. A pre season or two and could be anything. That's exciting. Pretty much dominated despite not being fit for the grade.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Interesting that we looked outside the box for our late picks. I like that.
Also what odds today's day and age of Fancy names to get Ben,Sam and Nathan.
Keeping it simple tigers,like it

 

[Roflcopter]

He was called 'Sir Lloyd' by the frankston crowds cause he was special to watch. great pick up imo. big upgrade over robin nahas

Actually played for Mt Eliza...so there is the class!

 

[Rubber Hips]

Sam is ready to go and will quickly become a cult hero.
Knows where the goals are and slots then
Strong, lays tackles, makes them stick, great hands and good kick.
Needs to develop his fitness - will do over pre season.
Look forward to Lloydy lining up for us soon in 2014

 

[TJTIGER]

welcome Sam, look forward to seeing him in action in the Y&B...
